To ensure the most accurate and up-to-date opening hours and business information, we have developed specialized software that indexes hours and related data into our database. While automated processes, such as our crawler, play a significant role by regularly scanning and updating information, we also rely heavily on a dedicated team of quality raters and verifiers.
Our team checks and confirms the accuracy of the data. Additionally, many businesses manage their own information directly through our platform, or utilize our API for seamless updates.
This combination of advanced technology and human oversight makes our platform one of the most reliable and current platforms for business information.
You can register your business through the registration form (find the 'Your business' link). There are no costs associated with a basic listing, which includes your address and opening hours. If you would like to display your website, photos, and a business description as well, you can upgrade to a premium listing; costs are stated during sign-up and are optional.
You can modify your business listing through the management portal of our platform. If an existing listing needs to be added to your account, choose ‘manage’ on the detail page of the listing or claim the listing through the onboarding process.
Seasonal opening hours are also supported on our platform. When entering your opening hours, you can specify the period for which they apply and add multiple seasons or periods. This feature is especially popular with businesses in tourist areas.
You can add special department opening times when entering your business information. This option is often used by garages with separate times for the Showroom, Sales, and Workshop. For example, McDonald's uses it to indicate the different opening times for the Restaurant and the McDrive.
In the input screen for your opening hours, you can activate the 'by appointment only' option for any day or period when this applies. This will be visable on our platform.
